I have a Springfield Xds 9mm that I bought for concealed carry last year and never really ended up using it for that purpose. I've been bringing it to the range for target shooting and it really isn't accurate enough to have fun practicing with beyond 7 yards. I've been thinking about getting a Glock because Ive never had one and I like the simplicity and customization options that I've heard about with Glocks.

For range use, I'd like something full sized. I'm leaning towards a Glock 17, 17L, or 34. Any recommendations for a primarily range use and self defense weapon for the house? Has anyone bought the 17 and wished for the 34 or 17L instead? How about used versus new? Used Glocks seem to go for about $50 less than new. Do people generally ask too much for them? Gen3 versus Gen4? LGS recommendations in Colorado for new Glocks?


Thanks for for any advice and sorry if this topic has been beaten to death.
